Apologize [Onerepublic Version] Lyrics
I'm holdin' on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearin' what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around
And say
That it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
Too late, oh uh
I'd take another chance
Take a fall, take a shot for you
I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin' new, yeah, yeah
I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turnin' blue
And you say
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
Whoa
It's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah (too late)
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah (too late)
I'm holdin' on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearin' what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around
And say
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
Too late, oh uh
Take a fall, take a shot for you
I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin' new, yeah, yeah
I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turnin' blue
And you say
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
Whoa
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah (too late)
I'm holdin' on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
My interpretation of this song is that its about a guy that was cheated on, and the cheater said somethings like "i didn't know you would find out" or something along those lines and tries to apologize for cheating but the guy is saying "it's too late to apologize, I used to love you like a fire red, but its turning blue" meaning that since she cheated the love he felt (which was like a red flame) turned into almost nothing (such as a blue flame)
